I was a bit surprised by how many people skipped the Courtney Love show to see Hall and Oates at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square. It turns out that the folks who went to see the Kings of Soft Rock were treated to show that was equally bad.
To say that Hall & Oates was cheesy may be an understatement. My amigo said "It felt like I was at a cool jazz concert. All i wanted was pure 70s or 80s pop songs. Give me my AM radio or my MTV. We left. God. Terrible. Billy Joel 100,000 times better."
They should have just stuck to their classic three-minute pop songs. Ditch the covers. Ditch the new songs. Ditch the "cool" jazz. Just play the greatest hits and leave quietly (photos via jabberjo)........

I've been to many H and O shows over the past 20 years and I have to tell you it was one of their best performances yet (they sounded DAMN good- with D soon to be 60 years old even). Whoever wrote this review must not be an "educated" or "updated" fan of H and O's music, or you would know they never did buy into the whole 80's pop music scene, most of the songs you wanted to hear were the ones that did not come from their souls but rather as part of binding contracts with record producing companies. Sure seemed to me the crowd was "IN HEAVEN" by all of the sounds of joy they were making. I cried, laughed, yelled, screamed and smiled through the whole performance, and saw both shows 2 nights in a row. So how do you like them apples??? Give Hall and Oates another chance-check out their music from the 70's-go buy Abandoned Luncheonette-you'll be all-right!!

Hey guys! You know what I think? I think that all written here is bullshit, real lie. They are making us believe it’s true, they are trying to express it like it was in reality. Don’t believe it if you are not insane! There’s nothing special in this site, they just express regular news with unusual words. They can make something shocking out of anything! Don’t trust them!

Going out somewhere with friends is just as much lot of fun, as coming to this website. Always has something to laugh at, a lot of things to share with each other, and it’s much easier to make friends here, than anyone would think! I come to this website when I have problems, and always leave it in a good mood. It really helps a lot!
